Are you aware of the Veridian Newspaper Collections?

https://www.veridiansoftware.com/collections/
It has been some time since I last wrote about VeridianSoftware.com. Veridian is a company called DL Consulting located in Hamilton, New Zealand. Here is a quote from their website about the company.
Since 2002 DL Consulting has been helping libraries around the world retain their position as critical and important community resources. We understand that libraries are responding to an increasing demand for online access to content. Our Veridian digitization services give libraries the ability to preserve archives of historic material and deliver the content as a digital collection to their communities. 
DL Consulting has proven experience delivering large projects for prestigious university libraries, large state and public libraries, and national libraries in the U.S. and abroad. Our staff is highly skilled in managing complex digital collections and is always responsive to issues large and small. DL Consulting is based in Hamilton, New Zealand, with an office in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The company maintains a huge search engine called Elephind.com that searches more than 149 million items from more than 2,700 historical newspapers around the world. Some of the collections include:
